Synergistic combination of flumetsulam or diclosulam with isothiazolones

ABSTRACT

A synergistic antimicrobial composition containing flumetsulam and an isothiazolone biocide chosen from among 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and N-n-butyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one. A synergistic antimicrobial composition containing diclosulam and an isothiazolone biocide chosen from 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one.

This invention relates to combinations of biocides, the combinations having greater activity than would be observed for the individual antimicrobial compounds.

Use of combinations of at least two antimicrobial compounds can broaden potential markets, reduce use concentrations and costs, and reduce waste. In some cases, commercial antimicrobial compounds cannot provide effective control of microorganisms, even at high use concentrations, due to weak activity against certain types of microorganisms, e.g., those resistant to some antimicrobial compounds. Combinations of different antimicrobial compounds are sometimes used to provide overall control of microorganisms in a particular end use environment. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,591,760 discloses a combination of 3-iodo-2-propynyl-butylcarbamate (IPBC) and 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT), but this reference does not suggest any of the combinations claimed herein. Moreover, there is a need for additional combinations of antimicrobial compounds having enhanced activity against various strains of microorganisms to provide effective control of the microorganisms, especially in dry film coatings. The problem addressed by this invention is to provide such additional combinations of antimicrobial compounds.

EXAMPLES

Sample Preparation:

A single or blend of biocides was post added into white acrylic latex paint free of biocides to give a maximum total active ingredient/s concentration tested. This paint was then diluted with a biocide free acrylic latex paint to give targeted concentrations for the testing. Depending on the type of biocide blends tested, the total biocides concentrations varies from 200 to 5000 ppm. After biocides addition or dilution, each sample was hand mixed for at least a minute until uniformity is achieved. Each of the paint samples as well as a control sample (containing no biocide) were used to prepare films on black plastic-vinyl chloride/acetate copolymer panels (LENETA, Mahwah, N.J.) using a 3 mil (0.0762 mm) bird bar applicator. The panels were thoroughly dried for at least 2 days avoiding direct exposure to sunlight. Square discs (0.5 inch; 1.27 cm²) were cut out from each panel and were used as the substrate for fungal and algal efficacy tests. This sample size allowed for an agar border when the sample disc was placed into the well of the test plate. Each sample was tested in duplicate

Test Conditions:

The appropriate media (BOLD'S 3N for Chlorophytes, BG-11 for Cyanobacteria, and PDA for fungi) were used to support microbial growth. The test plates were maintained at room temp (25° C.-26° C.), in a cycled light-dark environment, for four weeks for algae. Plates for fungal challenge tests were maintained at 30 C for four weeks. At the end of the incubation period the samples were scored for percent area covered by visible microbial growth.

ASTM 5589 is a standard accelerated test method for determining resistance of various coatings (including paints) to algal defacement. To accommodate for high-throughput screening, this method was scaled down from petri plates to 6-well plates. A single coupon was placed with a pair of sterile forceps at the center of the agar plug (on top) with the painted surface facing upwards. Algal inoculums were prepared by mixing equal concentrations (1×10⁶ cfu/ml) and equal volumes (depending on number of samples to be inoculated) of like growing organisms.

In Flumetsulam+various IT synergy study, three pool of mixed algae were prepared as the test inoculum, Gloeocapsa sp. and Oscillatoria sp. a mix of cyanobacteria grown on BG-11 media; Chlorella sp., Chlorella kessleri, and Nostoc commune are unicellular chlorphytes that were mixed and grown on Bold media; Trentepohlia aurea, Tretepohlia odorata, and Calotrix parientina are filamentous algae that were mixed and grown on Bold media.

In Diclosulam+various IT synergy study, only two pools of mixed algae were prepared; Gloeocapsa sp. and Oscillatoria sp. grown on BG-11 media and Chlorella sp., Chlorella kessleri, Nostoc commune, Trentepohlia aurea, Tretepohlia odorata, and Calotrix parientina grown on Bold media

Each well that contains a tested coupon was inoculated with 400 μl of organism mixture (1×10⁶ cfu/ml) making sure that the whole surface (paint film as well as the agar surrounding it) was evenly covered. The plates were incubated at room temp (25° C.-26° C.) with cyclic exposure to light (OTT-Lite model #OTL4012P, 40 Watt, 26 KLumen) and dark phases, for a period of four weeks. The total area covered was evaluated at the end of each week according to percent area covered in 5% increments.

Fungal Efficacy Testing—Modified ASTM 5590

ASTM 5590 is a standard accelerated test method for determining resistance of various coatings (including paints) to fungal defacement. To accommodate for high-throughput screening, this method was scaled down from petri plates to 6-well plates. To set up the test, an agar plug was placed at the bottom of each well of the sterile 6-well plate. A single coupon was placed with a pair of sterile forceps at the center of the agar plug (on top) with the painted surface facing upwards. Fungal inoculums were prepared by mixing equal concentrations (1×10⁶ cfu/ml) and equal volumes (depending on number of samples to be tested) of like growing organisms. For Flumetsulam+various IT synergy study, three pools of mixed fungi were prepared as the test inoculum. Cladosporium herbarum was mixed with Aureobasidium pullulans; Aspergillus niger was mixed with Penicillium funiculosum and Alternaria alternata was mixed with Trichoderma viride. For Diclosulam+various IT synergy study, all above fungi were mixed as a single pool. Each well was inoculated with 400 μl of organism mixture (1×10⁶ cfu/ml) making sure that the whole surface (paint film as well as the agar surrounding it) was evenly covered. The plates were incubated at 30° C. in presence of moisture, for a period of four weeks. The total percent area covered was evaluated and recorded at the end of each week after the 2^(nd) week and recorded in increments of 5%.

Synergy Index Calculation

Synergy Index (SI)

The SI is calculated based on F. C. Kull et. Al. method (Applied Microbiology, Vol. 9 (1961). In this study, SI was calculated based on the following formula with the minimum inhibitory concentration chosen based on the percent inhibitory exhibited by the individual biocide against each microorganisms tested. SI=Qa/QA+Qb/QB

Qa=the concentration of Biocide A in the blend

QA=The concentration of Biocide A as the only biocide

Qb=The concentration of Biocide B in the blend

QB=The concentration of Biocide B as the only biocide

SI value of <1 in the formula indicates a synergism of the blended biocides exists.

Note: If any of the active with maximum concentration tested did not exhibit some inhibition, this maximum concentration is used to calculate the estimated SI and a sign of less than (<) is included to take into account that higher concentration of the active is needed to achieve the targeted inhibition

NE=no end point at the concentration tested that will meet the percent inhibition criteria set in each SI calculation
